You were one month old yesterday.
Where did that time go? Somewhere in between the 3 am feedings and the burpings and gripe water and multiple outfit changes you grew, quickly.
I am guessing your now at least 8 lbs (we have a midwife appt this week to confirm), which seems huge to me, but small when I think about how I was 8lbs 13 oz. at birth (thanks mom!). You still look the same to me, but I can see little changes, like chunkier thighs, and little man boobies forming as well as a double chin.
We've settled into a routine where you'll choose a routine for a few days that change it! Thankfully you've been sticking to a night time routine pretty well, it is the daytime we've gotta figure out. You've been sleeping 4 hours with a 1/2 hour feeding than another 3-4 hours. Which we love! And your daddy is such a HUGE help, he does diaper duty while I set up the milk shoppe. I don't know what I'd do without him.
You enjoy your tummy time, you are already lifting your head straight up (you did within an hour of being born) but you're now able to switch it from side to side and lift it off of my shoulder to look me in the eyes. One day while I left you on your blanket for a minute I came back and you had rotated your whole body 90*. You are one string little man!
You outgrew your first sleeper!
More your arms outgrew it. Your legs will still fit but you've got 3/4 length sleeves, you've definitely inherited your daddy's long arms and fingers. You're still fitting into your newborn stuff, but I think we've only got a couple more weeks and than we'll fully be into the 0-3 month range, and man do I have some cute clothes for you.
We switched over from disposable diapers to cloth last Saturday, so we've been cd'ing you for over a week now and so far so good. It has definitely increased your booty size! but the diapers are just so cute and knowing we're doing our little part makes me feel good. Thankfully we have enough diapers that I only need to do 2 loads a week. I love using our clothesline, but this week the weather has not been co-operating.
I LOVE seeing you with our family and friends. And they are ENAMORED with you! You've met so many people this last month that it would be mind boggling to list them all, it reminds us just how absolutely loved you are.
Decker has adjusted quite well to you and now instead of jumping away from you when you reach out, he gives you little kisses and snuggles up with us while you're feeding.
And you smiled for the first time (without me thinking it was gas) on Friday (august 20th), and again a huge grin today when I was talking with you. I love seeing those smiles! and your eyes seem to twinkle along with your grin.
One of the best things this month has been seeing your dad fall so hard in love with you. He loves to come home from work, cuddle you and all asleep with you; While singing you a random variety of bon jovi songs (bed of roses was a huge favorite our first night in the hospital). You are a lucky boy to have a daddy like him.
we love you roe!
love mommy

There has been tough times this month, such as nights 2 and 3 of your life, where your nights and days were mixed up. We kept you awake one evening to re-adjust your schedule and thankfully you straightened your sleep times out! And I am so so very thankful for that.
we love you roe!
love mommy
